I think any gamer that played Death Rally (1996) when it came out, should be the luckiest guy, and I was one of them.I fell in love with racing games since then.
since that time lots of games came out that has the same concept of Death Rally, but not single one of them was satisfactory.
when I first saw the pictures of Blur I noticed that the cars are real, so I though that this is another racing game set to fail, but when I saw the trailer of the game I started drooling and I wanted the game like a baby wanted his toy.
finally the game came out and what can I say.
OH A LOT!
- the game is a pure awesomeness.
- this is the first game that uses weapons to destroy real licensed cars.
- the split screen mode is just lots of fun
- destroying cars using the power ups is satisfactory
- seeing your favorite car hit by a mine is never boring
- fan demands are fun to complete even after restarting the race just to complete them.
but of course the game has some bad sides:
- the speed-o-meter is just available in miles, and is located on the top right of the screen, I mean, com on, who is gonna look at the speed-o-meter on the top left when you are really fast and a fire bolt is right after you :P
- only 2 camera modes
in the end Blur is a great game that can entertain every gamer that loves speeding and shooting or even one of them
if you still did not get the game, what are you waiting for?
Oh right, for my review! :P :P
Whilst it’s rather disappointing that there are no new Blur games on the way, we can still look back at the series and reminisce.
there was more than one? man i must have really checked out after the first one.... or my lack of interest is showing. that game was..... not great.
"there was more than one?" This is exactly what I just thought too. I just remember the one on PS360 and PC. The game was fun but I didn't play it much tbh
Wanted to love this game so much, but just couldn't, it was the cars handling more than anything else, why they couldn't have kept or remade the pgr handling model is anyone's guess.
Tbf didn't know there was more than one. But looking at the other games in this list no wonder the series died after the first major title. Racing is an awkward series to compete in imo. You can't really go down the simulation route cause games like Forza have got that covered and if you want arcade smash up style racing then just play the old NFS or Burnout.
There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...

A continuation of the article from Pierre-Yves yesterday, Hamza now shares his thoughts on the matter. We all have games that just resonated for us. Maybe they were part of a series that came to an end (when was the last proper Shining Force game?) or a single game that just never garnered even one follow-up title (I'm looking at you, Heavenly Sword). Here are a handful of other games we would make a case for.

In 1988, Wasteland was released to the MS-DOS to widespread critical acclaim. So influential was the game that it played an instrumental role in the development of the now-iconic Fallout series, which is considered the spiritual successor to Wasteland. In 2014 a sequel was announced, and in the following year the cleverly titled Wasteland 2 made its way to the PC. Among the key people who worked on it were Chris Avellone and Brian Fargo - two of the most notable personalities behind the first two Fallout games. If Wasteland could finally get a proper sequel nearly three decades later, then I think another game from the same era should also deserve similar respect and follow-up.
